From geocaching adventures to traveling together, Linda filled Rachel's world with curiosity and courage. Her deep love of the Lord has shaped the way she lives and loves. A former kindergarten teacher, and she leads with patience and heart. She will also be walking Rachel down the aisle.
Elise Paxson
Mother of the Groom
Elise is the kind of mom who can slay a dragon, grow a garden, and write a story about it afterward. She brings creativity, curiosity, and heart into everything she does. When she's not rolling dice, she's working her magic in the garden with her green thumb. Elise has shared wonderful adventures with Rachel and Andrew on her trips to the Southwest. Every moment with her is filled with laughter and imagination.
Joseph Boucher
Grandfather of the Bride
He's lean, he's mean, he'll defend your honor at the drop of a hat. Grandfather to the bride, he has stepped up to the father role more times than she can count.

He will be walking the bride down the aisle.

Father of the Groom
Philip has been one of Andrew's greatest teachers and steady supports.

Siobhan DeWolfe
Chef
Master of feast and alchemist of flavor. From the legendary kitchen of Arkin's Juice Tavern she is no ordinary chef - she is an architect of experience, a wielder of flame, and a composer of taste. Where others see ingredients she sees possibility. Where others follow recipes, she creates magic. Creative to her core, whimsical in spirit, and delightfully untamed in imagination, she does not simply prepare a meal - she crafts a story in every bite. Herbs bend to her will. Sauces rise like spells from simmering cauldrons. Every guest will walk away tasting something unforgettable. Love deserves a banquet worthy of legend... and legend requires a chef bold enough to create it.
